terrorism

A principal -- likely the principal -- partner of the cartel gangsters in their work is, and has been for many years, Hezbollah. The fruits of that alliance plus cash infusions from Iran--and therefore, to a regrettable extent, us-- are how the world's biggest terror army finances many of its murderous activities. They sell the deadly narcotics to our people and use the money to kill others. Death for death. If you want to destroy and/or exploit a culture, addict it. If you want to undercut a civilization you consider anathema and make some money in the process, "turn it on." That's what Hezbollah is doing.

The objections to building a wall along our Southern border are ludicrous. The five billion dollars, though large to us private citizens, is a trivial number in the federal budget, well worth the money if it saves even one life. It will undoubtedly save a lot more than that. Pelosi and Schumer must know that. Well, maybe not. They certainly don't act that way, on or off TV. They seem like blind political automatons. Desperation for partisan advantage is its own kind of Alzheimer's disease.

As long as American politicians refuse to acknowledge that Islamism – not “terrorism” – is the ideology behind 9/11, and as long as our government refuses to battle that ideology, Islamists will continue to plot right here in America, and 9/11 will never be over.

The evidence of a “no terrorism connection” cover-up of what was going on at a remote Muslim compound in New Mexico is beginning to build. Despite the facts that a "Phases of a Terrorist Attack" document was discovered and calls for violent jihad documented the FBI remains MIA in the investigation.

Even though the Muslim compound busted in Amalia, New Mexico bears striking similarities to a Muslim terorrist compound bust in Colorado in 1992, in what is arguably the briefest forensic investigation of a terrorist compound in history, the New Mexico compound has been razed to the ground, taking with it any evidence.

In another "Willy Horton moment" an ISIS murderer and longtime terrorist was picked-up in Sacramento, California after having been admitted to the United States under an Obama refugee program supported by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and other establishment Republicans.

Even though Siraj Ibn Wahhaj has documented ties to terrorism, was arrested in possession of a cache of guns, and is alleged to have been training children to carry out school shootings, New Mexico Judge Sarah Backus, an elected Democrat, granted him and his accomplices bail because their danger to the community was not established to her satsifaction.

In Erbil I watched Christians, Yazidis, Sunni and Shia Muslims, and a Jew, who had lost a hand in a terrorist bombing, work together. Personal transformation offers the only sure, long-term answer to build a more tolerant, less violent world.

Candidate Trump appeared to understand Saudi Arabia. President Trump acts like other submissive royal retainers George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. Instead of campaigning to hand the Middle East over to the Saudi royals, the Trump administration should stand for America’s interests.

The U.S. is at war in Yemen. Special Forces are on the ground in Saudi Arabia, while Washington is providing Riyadh’s military with munitions, targeting assistance, and aerial refueling. All to bomb a nation whose people have done nothing against Americans.

Imagine for a moment that every time the baby-killers of Planned Parenthood announced that one of its leaders was speaking, pro-life conservatives threatened the venue with violence and tried to intimidate employees of any co-sponsors of the event. Such conduct would be labeled terrorism, but for the violent Left and their Muslim allies it is business as usual.

Washington’s relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is embarrassing, counterproductive, and unnecessary. The Kingdom is as much foe as friend of American principles and interests. The U.S. should tell the Saudis that in the future it will deal with the Kingdom when convenient, without any pretense of friendship.

While Congress dithers on legislation crucial to implementing an effective 21st century immigration and border security regimen, yesterday, President Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum to establish a National Vetting Center to help identify individuals who present a threat to our national security if allowed to enter the country.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is promoting economic opportunity and social modernity, while seeking regional military hegemony. During the Cold War Washington’s close embrace of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia made a certain strategic sense. Today, a far more limited, arms-length relationship with what remains an intolerant and repressive power is needed.

Increasing intolerance shown to religious minorities by Islamists represents something much deeper which threatens even the secularists who currently dominate government. The rise of intolerant Muslim fundamentalism is corrupting Bangladesh's political process, and undermining the development of sustainable democracy.

January 12 is just over a week from today, but that’s plenty of time for the President to make a major policy statement in support of the Iranian people, and to put in motion the actions necessary to support them in their desire to rid themselves of the corrupt mullahs now stifling their liberty – and threatening our own national security.

If President Trump is serious about countering Iranian aggression and repairing the mess in the Middle East left by Obama and Bush, then steps must be taken across the region, otherwise Iran will assert political and economic dominance over the entire northern tier of the Middle East and become the Middle East’s Shi’ite superpower.

Whether the growing anti-Iran coalition in the Middle East will solidify into a real counterweight to a potentially nuclear armed Iran remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: The battle with Israel and Saudi Arabia on one side and Iran on the other is heating up.

Angela Merkel is in trouble because traditional conservative voters backed the Alternative for Germany opposition party, which collected almost 13 percent. The AfD ran against mass immigration and reflected the cultural alienation of many voters.

Rehab Dughmosh, a Muslim woman who tried to murder people with a golf club and a knife in a Canadian Tire store last June, appeared in court Friday and was furiously defiant. If Dughmosh has anything to say about it, the “oppressors” in Canada will come to understand. But it is not likely that they, or most other Western leaders, are disposed to listen.
